Microsoft completes Activision Blizzard acquisition, Call of Duty now part of Xbox | Microsoft now publishes franchises like Warcraft, Diablo, Overwatch, Call of Duty, and Candy Crush.::Microsoft has finalized its $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard. The deal close comes after months of battles with regulators in the UK and US.

How is this a good deal at all? All these games have been going downhill for years now. I mean I guess they can still be cash cows but they’re not gonna be praised or loved anymore just for being part of Xbox

I was just thinking this, like, none of these games are even worth playing. Diablo looks fine but damn, they bought a publisher that publishes straight trash lmao
